BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, JR., AND NOAH E. SAGE, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

NON-ERASABLE CHECK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 778,026, dated December 20, 1904. Application led July 28, 1904:. Serial No. 218,457.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, J r., and NOAH E. SAGE, citizens of the United States, and residents of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Erasable Checks, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof. l

Our invention relates to non-erasable checks; and it consists of the novel features herein shown, described, and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan of a non -erasable check embodying the principles of our invention, and Fig. 2 is a crosssection.

Referring to the drawings in detail, our irnproved non erasable check comprises the glazed or hard waterproof or partly-waterproof back 3, the soft, sensitive, porous, or bibulous white body, and the sensitive lightlyprinted lightly-tinted face 5 upon the white body 4f.

The leading feature of our improved nonerasable check is the bibulous white body and the sensitive tinted face.

In the drawings we have shown a restaurant waiters check; but it should be understood that the principles of our invention may be apv one dollar and ninety-five cents.

plied to pay-checks, bank-checks, money-orders, and the like.

The check is intended for use principally with a pencil; but it may be used with a pen.

In the check shown the total amount 6 is An attempt to erase this amount with a rubber will leave a white spot 7 in the tinted face. On the contrary, if the tinted face was heavily printed upon hard paper the pencil-mark could easily be erased without making a white spot.

We claim- 1. In a non-erasable check; a body of white bibulous material having a glazed back; and a face having a color in contrast with the white body; substantially as specified.

2. As an article of manufacture; a nonerasable check comprising a body of white bibulous material having a glazed back, and having a front surface having' a color in contrast with the white body; there being a blank printed upon said colored face.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in presence of two subscribing vwitnesses'.
